Let me guess, Thomas, the British banker was killed by Russian-Israeli Zionists who were in cahoots with the Illuminati, the Vatican, and the Care Bears.

Oh, wait, I'm sorry..I'm getting a message from the Mossad, of whom I'm apparently a covert agent just by virtue of being Jewish...yeah, we're not supposed to talk about that, apparently.

And the Freemasons! CAN'T forget the Freemasons.

It was all laid out in the protocols, you know.



Ooo the "string pullers" aren't going to like you mentioning that!

No and no, but then, on the other hand, I don't see too many authors claiming, say, German Christians are the principal forces behind global organized crime and corruption, either. That goes beyond criticism of any national government toward pointing blame at a group of people - I suppose, for being who they are ("Russian-Israeli").

The point is, the idea of Eastern European Jews being the figures who control and pull the strings of global crime and corruption isn't new. For those who study these things, it's a repeating trope, and we're just not crazy about how Madsen runs with it.

Or behind hollywood

Or the fed

Or the slave trade

Or Civil Rights

Or Jazz

Or 9/11

Or the Bolsheviks

Or hitler to get Israel

Or inventing the Holocaust to get Israel

Or pulling strings with movies like Schindler's List to get sympathy for Israel

Or blood in the Purim cookies



Sorry for sounding glib, I'm just sick of this 2K year old sht.



Nor are we afraid to talk about it when it comes up.

Mostly Madsen writes about the Cheney/Bush cabal. Are you claiming they are Eastern European Jews? But if he finds their criminal ties extend into Russia, Israel, South Africa, wherever---is Madsen supposed to omit THE TRUTH because it makes you uncomfortable? If you knew anything about Madsen's reports, you would know that plenty of American Christians are mentioned as corrupt agents, that Anglican Brits are closely allied to the false flag attacks and the illegal warmongering and so are Catholic Italians. And let's not forget the Pakistanis and the Saudis. They're not Jews either. You see, if you knew anything about Madsen's reports, you would know that he is an equal-opportunity accuser of crooks, scoundrels and war criminals of any race, religion or national origin.

WHY are you here?


Looking at your archive of posts at this site...............it is obvious "your job is to monitor this site" and engage in the usual OPER CHAOS disinfo campaign...for what purpose?



Move along little girl.


Nothing to see.


You're here wasting your time.


How much do you get paid...to monitor this site?


Colossal police state spending...will end eventually, since America's economy is PUMPED AND DUMPED.


So...what is your next military assignment in Amerika? Bet you get a FEMA camp guard job handing out the ricin cookies to all the political enemies of this RICO FELONY MAFIA CRIME FAMILY (GOP, DOD, FBI, MOSSAD)

Why the hell are you here?




Policing my posts and stalking?





OMG...

You need to adjust your tinfoil hat.




Or else, what?

Who are you to tell me where I can and can't post? Nah, I'm not going anywhere.





All because somebody on the internet disagrees with you.

Get real, pal.

The Russian "businessman" to whom Donald Trump sold his Palm Beach mansion for a purported $100 million was arrested in Russia in April of 1997 and charged with masterminding the killing of a business rival, in what law enforcement authorities called "a contract hit."

The MadCowMorningNews has uncovered an April 13, 1997 report in the official Russian news agency TASS announcing that Russian law enforcement authorities arrested Russian fertilizer king Dmitry Rybolovlev and charged him with being behind the murder of the head of another Russian chemical company, in what authorities said was a war for control of Russia’s lucrative fertilizer business.

“The suspected murderers and organizers of the crime, including the head of the FD-Kredit Bank, Dmitry Rybolovlev, have been arrested,” TASS reported.

Trump’s announcement of his big sale Wednesday received wide play. It was trumpeted everywhere from the Wall Street Journal to Entertainment Tonight.

The Wall Street Journal, with perhaps unintended irony, called Rybolovlev, a 42-year-old Russian billionaire who currently ranks #59 on the Forbes list of the world's billionaires, “one of Russia's richest and most discreet businessmen.”

None of the stories mentioned Palm Beach's newest billionaire's mainline connection to the Russian Mob. .....

Report Alleges US Role in Angola Arms-for-Oil Scandal

by Wayne Madsen, Special to CorpWatch
May 17th, 2002






As the US Congress continues its investigation of the Enron affair, human rights advocates are calling for a probe of the Bush administration's possible role in another energy and influence-peddling scandal. According to a recent report by the British-based non-governmental organization Global Witness, Bush and US oil interests have ties to some of the key figures in the arms-for-oil scandal which has devastated Angola.

Known as "Angolagate" in France, the scandal involves arms-for-oil deals between French businessman Pierre Falcone, the head of a firm called Brenco International; his colleague Jean-Christophe Mitterand, the son of the former French president; and a Russian-born Israeli named Arkadi Gaydamak.

According to "All the Presidents' Men," a March 25 report on Angolagate by Global Witness, Gaydamak funneled billions of dollars in arms and oil-backed loans to Angola's government in return for lucrative oil contracts with Western oil companies. Falcone and Gaydamak, relying on the special access that Mitterand had to the Angolan government, managed to transfer some $463 million in arms to Angola.

The net effect of the Angolan arms buildup was the scrapping of the 1994 Lusaka Peace Agreement between Angolan President Jose Eduardo dos Santos and long-time UNITA rebel leader Jonas Savimbi, a one-time favorite of the Central Intelligence Agency and a person who President Reagan once hailed as the "George Washington of Angola."

The newly-armed Angolan Army -- supported by an array of US-based private mercenary companies like MPRI and AirScan -- went on a bloody offensive against UNITA in 1998 and was eventually able to push Savimbi's rebels further into the jungles in the eastern part of the country. This compelled UNITA to mine and sell more diamonds on the black market to buy arms. The trade in "blood diamonds," in turn, led to a number of human rights abuses by UNITA. Ironically, Savimbi -- Reagan's George Washington of Africa -- was gunned down by Angolan Army troops in a remote area of Angola on February 22, the birthday of America's first president.

According to Global Witness, the links between Angola's corrupt government and the Bush administration are just as odorous as those linking Luanda's leadership to past and current members of the French government, both Socialist and Gaullist. In addition to the French oil giant Total-Fina-Elf, oil companies like Chevron, Texaco, Philipps Petroleum, Exxon Mobil, and BP-Amoco -- all with close links to Bush and his White House oil team -- were heavily involved in propping up dos Santos in return for profitable off-shore oil concessions.

After transferring some $770 million in oil revenues to their own private bank accounts, dos Santos and his cronies became convinced that pluralism in their country would be a very dangerous thing for their future business deals. They also quickly abandoned their former Marxist beliefs in favor of the type of capitalist principles embraced by George W. Bush and Jacques Chirac.




Paris, Texas



There are similarities between dos Santos' new relationship with George W. Bush and the Bush family's historical ties to the House of Saud. Both represent the murky nature of oil politics that places US economic, national security, and human rights interests far behind the priority assigned to ensuring maximum corporate profits for a tight-knit and secretive international oil fraternity.

Just as Bush's past financial links to the Bin Laden family have been exposed by the media, so too have his links to Angolagate and Falcone. Falcone's wife, Sonia, a former Miss Bolivia and a friend of First Lady Laura Bush, became a big-ticket contributor to Bush's 2000 election campaign. Contributions were made to the campaign through Sonia's Essanté Corporation, a distributor of health, beauty, and sexual pleasure products (such as a cream called Entisse that Essanté's web site says is guaranteed to duplicate the effects of Viagra).

In 2000, Esssanté, which is linked to Falcone's arms trafficking Brenco through the same corporate addresses and shareholding accounts in the United Kingdom and British Virgin Islands, respectively, gave the GOP and Bush campaign over $100,000. Sonia was also an early supporter of Bush. Federal Election Commission records reveal she was on board with a $1000 contribution to Bush's presidential exploratory committee on April 14, 1999. She also rubbed shoulders with George H. W. Bush at an October 6, 2000 fundraiser -- a Bush campaign event that netted $10,000 per person.

Only after Newsweek and The Arizona Republic published details of Falcone's international arms dealing involving Gaydamak was the money returned by the GOP to Essanté, and then only a few days prior to Bush's inauguration. The money, of course, was available to Bush all during the contested Florida election and the state and federal Supreme Court battles. The Republican National Committee said in a statement that the money was returned to "avoid the appearance of impropriety."

More noteworthy, just before Falcone was arrested in France in December 2000 (along with Mitterand's son), police discovered computer files that included a letter from Falcone inviting then-candidate Bush to meet with dos Santos at Falcone's Arizona Paradise Valley ranch. Although there is no record of such a meeting taking place, Bush did host dos Santos at the White House shortly after the killing of Savimbi. The timing of this meeting raises serious questions about the transfer of money to Bush's campaign coffers and its impact on changing the Republican Party's long-held policy of support for Savimbi.

It is also interesting that one of Bush's top Arizona campaign officials, State Senator Scott Bundgaard, arranged for Sonia Falcone to meet Bush at Phoenix Airport just after Essanté dropped one down payment of $20,000 into Bush's campaign chest. According to Global Witness, there is good reason to believe the donations to Bush were actually made by Pierre Falcone himself using "coded accounts" maintained at the UBS Bank in Switzerland, Bank Leumiin Tel Aviv, and Banque Rothschild in Monaco.




The Cheney Connection



The Global Witness report also reveals that French investigators discovered questionable links between the Angolan government and Vice President Dick Cheney's old firm Halliburton and its subsidiary Brown & Root. The investigators believe Halliburton's success in Angola is tied to Falcone's intercessions with Luanda: actions that would have directly benefited Cheney when he headed the firm between 1995 and 2000. According to an Associated Press report on October 26, 2000, the US Embassy in Luanda assisted Halliburton in securing a $68 million US Export-Import Bank loan for Angola in 1998, during the height of much of the arms running activity between dos Santos, Falcone and Gaydamak. The AP cited a cable from the US Embassy in Luanda to Secretary of State Madeleine Albright that states, "Our commercial officer literally camped out at the offices of the national oil company, petroleum ministry and central bank, unraveling snag after snag to obtain the transfer of funds . . . The bottom line: thousands of American jobs and a foot in the door for Halliburton to win even bigger contracts."

Cheney, a one-time supporter of UNITA, appears to have changed his mind after the former CIA-backed guerrillas were deemed a threat to US oil interests. Savimbi, like Laurent Kabila and Joseph Mobutu of Congo, Panama's Manuel Noriega, and Iraq's Sadaam Hussein, became just another disposable CIA asset who outlived his usefulness.

Another Bush confidant who had a vested interest in propping up dos Santos is Bush National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice. A former Chevron director and, until recently, the namesake of a Chevron supertanker, the SS Condoleezza Rice (since renamed the SS Altair Voyager), Rice would have had good reason to see Angola stabilized under the dos Santos regime and permanently eliminate the UNITA threat to her old employer.


Perhaps the most ironic link described in the Global Witness report is one involving the former "fugitive financier" Marc Rich. He appears as a major player in the arms-for-oil scandal through a Swiss-based oil trading company named Glencore. The firm played a major role in guaranteeing a total of $1 billion in oil-backed loans for Angola in 1998. The first set of oil-backed loans in 1993 involved Glencore, Falcone, and Gaydamak. Soon after, Gaydamak arranged for the sale of Russian helicopters and ammunition through a Slovak company called ZTS-OSOS. The 1998 billion-dollar loan deal included the Export-Import Bank loans being pushed by Halliburton and Cheney. The GOP conveniently seized on President Clinton's pardon of Rich without describing the vice president's links to the fugitive financier's vast international money-lending and influence-peddling empire.

The ties of President Chirac's administration to Angolagate are as clear as those of other leading French politicians -- right and left, Socialist and Gaullist. What is not clear is what Chirac and President-elect Bush spoke about on December 18, 2000 in Washington, DC at the French Embassy in an unprecedented meeting between a president-elect and a foreign leader in a foreign diplomatic mission. Coming just four days after the Supreme Court handed the White House to Bush, the Bush-Chirac meeting took on an even greater aura of mystery.

Was it merely coincidental that Chirac was the first foreign leader to meet with America's dauphin, even prior to Bush's inauguration? Reportedly, a number of French prosecutors who investigated Angolagate would like to know the answer.



Hold the Phone


There is yet another disturbing element involved in Bush's ties to dos Santos. Global Witness reports that there was a secret agreement between the French firm Communications et Systémes, the French Defense Ministry, and dos Santos to acquire during 2000 two types of communications monitoring equipment suites to triangulate the location of Savimbi's GSM cell and satellite telephone calls in the Angolan bush. The two systems -- Murene (for GSM calls) and Menta (for satellite calls), were supposed to help dos Santos' forces locate Savimbi's constantly moving jungle headquarters.

Apparently, the multimillion dollar systems were not all that helpful in locating Savimbi. However, legitimate questions exist about what U.S. official and unofficial intelligence resources were brought to bear on the recalcitrant ex-US. ally Savimbi. Under CIA Director George Tenet's new authority to eliminate terrorists listed in his "worldwide attack matrix," it is open season on anyone the U.S. brands a terrorist. According to US government sources, Savimbi was tracked by the military forces of U.S. NATO ally Portugal, who were aided by private mercenaries from Israel and South Africa. Jardo Muekalia, who headed UNITA's Washington office until it was forced to close in 1997, says that that the military forces that ultimately succeeded in assassinating Savimbi were supported by commercial satellite imagery and other intelligence support provided by Houston-based Brown & Root, Cheney's old outfit. Both the State Department and Pentagon vehemently deny any US government role in the killing of Savimbi.

But the US frequently uses such intelligence wizardry to help track down troublesome leaders. In 1996, according to US and British intelligence sources, the NSA may have passed on location data to the Russians on the location of Chechen President Dzhokar Dudayev (he was struck by an air-to-surface missile while talking on his satellite phone). In 1999, the New York Times reported that Turkey captured Kurdish Workers' Party leader Abdallah Ocalan after his cell phone location data was tracked by U.S., British, and Israeli intelligence agents.

It is not only Angola where the oil interests of Falcone and Bush coincide. Falcone's Brenco also has significant interests in Colombia and Venezuela, two recent bastions of CIA and US paramilitary activity in support of US oil interests in the region. Gaydamak has also been involved in business with Falcone in Latin America since 1993.

Interestingly, although Interpol on January 11, 2001 issued an arrest warrant for Gaydamak, he continues to travel between Israel, the United Kingdom, and South America using his Israeli, Canadian, and Angolan passports, eluding police, and passing from capital to capital with the full support of the Israeli government. Falcone and Mitterand's son have already been arrested and released on bail in France. If the Bush administration is really interested in tracking down and bringing to justice people involved in funding terrorism, like that which has occurred for years in Angola, it might pressure Israel to end its diplomatic protection of Gaydamak and cooperate with Interpol in bringing him to justice. However, considering the fact that so many members of the Bush administration appear to have links to Angolagate, such a prospect appears bleak.

And what has continuation of warfare to the benefit of oil companies meant for Angola? The consequences are dire:

Angola is one of the poorest countries in the world.

Famine is increasing throughout the country with one child dying of malnutrition and associated diseases every three minutes.

Life expectancy is 45 years in a country that earned $5 billion in oil revenues in 2001.

The Angolan Civil War has resulted in the deaths of over half a million people and 3.1 people becoming refugees.

Tens of thousands of children have been maimed by land mines.

In any case, Bush's so-called "compassionate conservatism," has been a myth for the people of Angola and a windfall for oily business friends like the Falcones and Ken Lays of the world. The Bush administration does not appear to be bothered by the havoc being wrought by oil company cartels on the countries of Africa.

Russian Mobster Tied to 9/11 in Assassination Plot in Ukraine

WORLD EXCLUSIVE

by Daniel Hopsicker

NOV 29 2006



Russian Mobster Igor Borisovich “Felix” Rabaev, the heroin trafficker who was waiting at the receiving end for the arrival of a weekly drug flight coming in from Venezuela during the year 2000 on a Lear jet owned by terror flight school impresario Wallace J. Hilliard re-surfaced in the Ukraine last year, where he masterminded an attempt to assassinate a man just-appointed Secretary of the Ukrainian National Security Council, the MadCowMorningNews has learned.

Vitaliy Haiduk was then the West-leaning Ukrainian Minister of Energy, targeted for injury (or worse) in a deliberate crash landing of a private Challenger jet on January 5, 2005 at an airport in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv. Tensions were running high at the time, as the world watched to see what would happen during the inauguration of Western-backed President Viktor Yushchenko, scarred by poisoning during the election campaign.

Former CIA pilot Mark Shubin, who witnessed the controlled crash landing of Haiduk’s plane, received a phone threat on his life last week to dissuade him from revealing details of the incident.
But phone threat were hardly the only examples of the ruthlessness of the Russian Mafia, visible in a spate of news stories last week, the most prominent of which involved speculation at Scotland Yard of possible involvement of Russian organized crime in the killing of a KGB defector whose food was spiked with a rare radioactive substance




Did 'Pirate of Prague' know Atta?



The Russian Mob was also in the news in a bizarre case involving the FBI's terrorism unit, investigating charges Russian Mobsters were deliberately contaminating their hordes of cash with a virus designed to sicken anyone who came in contact with it, after officers in the State Police in Pennsylvania became ill after confiscating a stash of drug money.

Stranger still was a story revealing that Russian organized crime had been fingered by police in Seoul South Korea during an investigation into a disgraced Korean cloning scientist, Hwang Woo-suk, who announced Hwang made three attempts to clone a wooly mammoth, using mammoth cells bought from the Russian Mafia.

The involvement of Felix Rabaev in drug flights on a plane owned by the man whose flight school was at the same time teaching Mohamed Atta to fly was just one of several threads involving the Russian Mob in the story of the 9/11 terrorist conspiracy.

As we reported last week the FBI launched a manhunt scouring the South Pacific for Wolfgang Bohringer, a German pilot fingered as one of Atta's closest associates in “Welcome to TERRORLAND,” after he re-surfaced in the middle of the South Pacific recently to launch a highly-dubious enterprise on a tiny island over 1000 miles from a city of any size, where he planned to open a flight school which would only teach pilots how to fly DC3’s.

Bohringer was hanging out with Mohamed Atta all over Southwest Florida in the year before 9/11 while serving as the personal pilot of fugitive financier, Victor Kozeny, the so-called “Pirate of Prague.”

Kozeny ran afoul of U.S. officials after attempting to bribe his way to ownership of the state oil company in Azerbaijan. His endeavor was assisted by shady American financing, including money from AIG Insurance, whose subsidiary Coral Reinsurance, according to the Arkansas Project, was implicated during the 1980's in cocaine trafficking through Mena, Arkansas.




Our parent company: 'Caught Holding LLC.'




When the plot against Haiduk was launched, Haiduk, one of Ukraine’s biggest oligarchs, was the Ukraine’s Minister of Energy, and had made enemies because of his pro-Western positions and hostility towards Russia on controversial energy issues, including the showdown between Ukrainian and Russian officials over whether to hand over Ukraine's gas transport system under a concession agreement with Russia.
It was an epic struggle, a Trojan War with no Helen, just lots of black oily goop.

We learned Rabaev had been implicated in an assassination attempt while attempting to learn more about Edgar Valles-Diaz, the mysterious Venezuelan left almost literally holding the bag, filled with 43 lbs. of heroin hidden in his luggage.

The pilot of the drug flights on Wally Hilliard’s Lear jet, Diego Taxar-Levine, told authorities he’d known Valles-Diaz for just nine months, during which he flew him from Venezuela to Fort Lauderdale and then on to New York at least 30 times.

During much of the year 2000, Russian Mobster Igor Borisovich “Felix” Rabaev, late of the Russian enclave of Brighton Beach in New York City, current whereabouts unknown, met imprisoned Venezuelan drug trafficker Edgar Valles-Diaz on his arrival on over thirty weekly flights, each of which began in Venezuela with a stop-over in Fort Lauderdale before landing at a general aviation airport just outside New York City in Teeterboro, New Jersey.




A sailor in every port




In a later conversation with a fellow pilot, Levine stated that each time the private jet landed in New York, Valles-Diaz was met by Igor “Felix” Rabaev, who Levine claimed was Valles-Diaz’ “boyfriend.”

Levine told the pilot, "He gets picked up at the airport by an Uzbek named Igor Rabaev, his heroin connection from Central Asia.”

Valles-Diaz was no ordinary South American drug dealer, we soon learned. He reportedly had close ties to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, with a serious involvement in geopolitical activity.

Rabaev, a member of one of the three largest Russian Mob families in the U.S., flitted in and out of Central Asia at will, eyewitnesses told the MadCowMorningNews, using the Uzbek capital of Tashkent as a transshipment point for heroin from Afghanistan wending its way to Russia and the West.





Tashkent: Casablanca on the Steppes





Most of the intrigue in the story appears to center on Central Asia’s vast oil reserves, which is not just a game for oilmen and petroleum geologists.

Mixed in with the usual assortment of soldiers of fortune and raffish adventurers we would hear about weapons merchants, narcotics traffickers, diamond smugglers, Russian-Israeli mafia tycoons, and terrorists.

The downside is that losers in the struggle can occasionally expect to be boiled alive. Alone among the nations of the Earth, at least since Idi Amin left Uganda, Uzbekistan under the regime President Islam Karimov preserves the ‘quaint’ custom of boiling alive the occasional political dissidents.

Unlike Amin, however, there has been no intimations that Uzbek Karimov then has the bodies salted to taste.

“Igor Rabaev was in business with Edgar Valles-Diaz,” an aviation executive in Fort Lauderdale told us.

“You should ask Hilliard’s partner about Rabaev. Mark Shubin knows him. Rabaev and Shubin had a run-in just last year, I hear. They were in an accident together."




Everybody brace! (Not you Vitaly)



We located a pilot in Miami who had flown with both Rabaev and Shubin in Central Asia. After we convinced him that we already knew at least some of the essential back-story of Mark Shubin’s colorful life, which included flying U-2 and SR-71 high-altitude reconnaissance planes over Russia and other Cold War hotspots for the CIA, he launched into a strange tale of attempted murder and spooky intrigue in Central Asia.

The “incident” went down like this:

Snow was falling, visibility was poor under a dark gray winter sky, and there was tension in the cockpit of the Challenger 600 jet (N187AP) carrying one of the Ukraine’s biggest oligarchs home to the industrial Ukrainian city of Donetsk.

Shubin had been Haiduk’s personal pilot for long enough for the Ukrainian Minister to be so confident in his abilities that he rarely bothered to strap-in, even during take-offs and landings, but made it his custom to easily wander up and down the plane’s aisles.

But this time, instead of piloting the plane, Mark Shubin had been cajoled into letting an inexperienced American pilot and journeyman adventurer named Travis Paul have the controls, while he sat in the co-pilot’s seat.




Same technique was used in 'Last Seduction'



Paul, instead of fastening his seat belt, instead strapped himself into his shoulder harness for the landing, an unusual move. Maybe something was about to happen.

"Shubin was screaming at Travis, ‘You’re going too fast! Slow down!' Mark ordered him to slam on the brakes,” said the crewman.

“Travis answered, ‘I am stepping! I have no brakes!’”

“The airplane bounced once and then went flying down the runway. Later Shubin told me Travis was breathing heavy and sweating profusely, but wasn’t trying to stop airplane, or exit to the taxi way.”

Igor “Felix” Rabaev had enlisted the rest of the plane’s motley crew in a plan. No one would suspect a crash-landing on an icy runway in the dead of winter of being an attempt to do the Ukrainian Minister bodily harm.

The plot was only discovered days after the crash, when an argument was overheard, between crew members promised bribe money Rabaev had promised to ensure the crew’s silence.





Another plane registered to Wells Fargo, Salt Lake. Hmm.



“On January 4, 2005, at about 1701 coordinated universal time, a Canadair CL-600 airplane (N187AP) received minor damage when it departed the end of runway 26 during the landing roll at the Zhuliany Airport, Kyiv, Ukraine,” said the NTSB accident report.

“The airplane was registered to Wells Fargo Bank Northwest, Trustee, Salt Lake, Utah, and operated by Vladimir Kravets, Kiev, Ukraine, under the provisions of Ukraine Civil Aviation Regulations.”

“The pilot, copilot, and an unknown number of passengers were not injured,” the report went on. “Information provided by the Government of Ukraine, and from a statement provided by the pilot, indicated that the runway was contaminated by ice and snow."

"The runway braking action was reported as fair. Upon touchdown, the crew was unable to deploy the thrust reversers because they were not armed. The captain applied maximum braking but was unable to prevent the airplane from departing the end of the runway.”

“The NTSB report is bullshit,” a member of the doomed flight’s crew told us. “Rabaev spread money around to keep the true story from coming out, but it wasn’t enough to keep my mouth shut. He’s a cheap bastard, and that’s a fact.”



New Spystore opening: Oligarchs R' Us




Shubin had been active flying the infamous “rendering” flights across Europe and Central Asia, we learned, until early 2004, when he flew his last flight for the CIA. Both Sky Bus Inc and International Diplomatic Courier Service had been launched with CIA money, our pilot informant told us.

Now he was the chief pilot running a charter aviation company for a Ukrainian conglomerate owned by Vitaly Haiduk and his two partners. The trio were among the wealthiest men in the country. All of them belonged to the new class known as “the oligarchs,” people who had grown rich buying up state-owned enterprises on the cheap after the fall of Communism.

Before leaving the U.S. for the Ukraine, Shubin hired new co-pilots. One was an American named Doug Laundin, and a Russian, Lev Soburnov, a former MIG pilot with an FAA license and years flying jets.

Also coming aboard the aviation venture just days before departure was Igor Rabaev, hired after Shubin was prevailed upon by German Galilov, Operations Manager for a Fort Lauderdale-based charter jet company which flew air cargo flights between an abandoned military base in West Germany and Tashkent, Uzbekistan, and was partly-owned by government officials in Tashkent.

Galilov, who lives (where else?) in Miami, wanted Shubin to help a relative of his, an immigrant from Tadzikistan living in New York, who reportedly had a pilot’s license, but little experience.

“Rabaev claimed he had been flying for Uzbekistan Airways as Captain of a 767,” related an aviation executive in Fort Lauderdale, who then waved his hand through the air dismissively. “He was lying.”




It's not a carry-on. It's a 'diplomatic pouch'




Rabaev’s negatives went beyond merely being a poor pilot. One of Shubin’s most experienced Captains, Lev Soburnov, a Russian, who refused to fly with Rabaev a second time, said he also “apparently had a fear of flying.”

But he did have a few things of value: a brother in Miami, connections to international narcotics traffickers, and a number of aliases: “Igor Rabaev.” “Edgar Rabaev.” Even “Felix Rabaev.”

Mark Shubin and Wally Hilliard had done quite a bit of business together, we learned, while investigating Hilliard’s associates for “Welcome to TERRORLAND.”

Shubin’s company, Sky Bus, Inc., for example, shared ownership of at least four private jets with Hilliard’s Plane 1 Leasing, two of which had what we considered to be “unusual” tail numbers: “N11UN” and “N111UN.”

The ‘UN’ designation on the tail number turned out to be a clue of some sort: Shubin had incorporated a company in Florida, in August of 2001, called ‘International Diplomatic Courier Services.’

In a brief interview in his office at the Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, Shubin refused to talk about Rabaev, or anything else.




Not enough said about "Nuff said."



Post-9/11, there were a number of planes controlled by Shubin’s company, Skybus, a search of aviation databases revealed.

‘Plane spotters,” who have made it their business to observe the movements of planes suspected of being used by the CIA in the now-notorious “renditions” which transport prisoners to Guantanamo as well as other secret detention centers, made curious notations on the arrival of one of Shubin’s private jets at airports in Ireland and the UK.

“N777SA has just dropped in at 0150 Local!” wrote an English planespotter in Birmingham. “Another due today is VP-BKZ. Nuff said.”

The laconic “nuff said” drew our attention. N777SA was a twin-engine Cessna Conquest II registered to Shubin. Today its registered owner is “Security Aviation” of Anchorage Alaska. Hmm...

The comment seemed to hint at something unspoken. The second plane named in the note was registered in Mclean, VA., home of the CIA.




"Lone cadre" no more




The news that Igor Borisovich Rabaev— who awaited the arrival in New York each week for thirty-nine weeks of terror flight school owner Wally Hilliard’s Lear jet—has recently been involved in a plot to assassinate Vitaly Haiduk, the new Defense Minister in the Ukraine should finally bury one of the central lies in the official story of the 9/11 attack, the one which falsely asserts that 19 hijackers moved through Europe and America unnoticed, keeping pretty much kept to themselves.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

The hijackers were not ghostly apparitions.

Based on an "investigation" notable only for failing to interview a single firsthand eyewitness, the National Commission on Terrorism’s 9/11 Report totally ignored the big dirty secret lying at the heart of the 9/11 cover-up... A war for global supremacy being fought through drug trafficking, weapons sales, and the associated money laundering necessary to keep secret armies in the field.

They stuck out like sore thumbs... like Sammy the Bull Gravano hiding out in a Hasidic enclave in upstate New York.

In this light the arrest of the alleged close associate of Hugo Chavez caught ‘holding the bag’ on Wally Hilliard’s Lear jet can be seen as just one more chess move in an ongoing global match being fought out on a chessboard as vast as the steppes of Central Asia.

No doubt, this is why when Edgar Valles-Diaz paid for each charter Lear jet flight in cash, Hilliard pretended not to notice.




"Active Senior?" Or threat to U.S.?




A lot of people retire to Florida. But most retired men settle for a hobby like woodworking. A boat. A golf game. Shuffleboard. Tennis. Hilliard bought a fleet of 30-40 jets. What was a retiree in Naples doing with a bigger Air Force than Panama?

We’d never heard of anybody retiring to pursue a second career in espionage, international organized crime, or drug trafficking.

At a minimum, worrying your organization has been penetrated by a foreign intelligence service must wreak havoc on your backswing.

How did a retired-to-Florida insurance executive named Wallace J. Hilliard from Green Bay Wisconsin become such a central figure in the story of the terrorist hijackers.

Who ever heard of a Midwestern James Bond?
